30 Seconds To Mars Cover Kanye West

Poor 50 Cent … Kanye’s on everybody’s minds and iPods these days: And when we say everybody, we also mean emo whipping boy Jared Leto. Recently, 30 Seconds To Mars got all Pink Floyd-y on Jo Whiley for a breathy, alt-snore take on “Stronger.” Maybe it’s not all that silly in theory, but you only need to get to Leto singing “you could be my black Kate Moss tonight” before eyes start rolling into your head. Take a listen at MySpace and make sure to have your hankies ready for the finale.

RELATED: Kanye took on The Office‘s Rainn Wilson in a name-that-lyric showdown at the Emmys last night. Vid of the 50 Cent/MTV in-joking bit after the jump, best line coming from moderator Wayne Brady, after West ended “Stronger” with “That’s how long I’ve been on YOU”: “The last line of the song, sadly, is ‘that’s how long I’ve been on YA’ … You picked a bad time to speak properly.”

YES THIS IS JUST SAD PEOPLE, GO , GO LIVE A LIFE OF YOUR OWN, SOME OF US LIKE TO HAVE FAITH, HOPE TO BE FREE FROM THIS WORLD AND IT’S ” INHABITANTS” SAD SAD SAD… ISN’T IT BRANDON i SUPPOSE YOU MAY COME AND LOOK AT ALL THIS DIS-EASE.. iI NOW SAW IT AND WOW PEOPLE GET BACK TO REALITY… i SAY IF HE IS OUR LORD JESUS, THEN START SINGING START DANCING CUZ WE ALL SHOULD NO IF NOT U BETTER LOOK…JUDGEMENT DAY!!!!!! YA…… I’LL BE COMING HOME, AND BE SAVED FROM ALL THE WILD DOGS HEREJUST SPITTNG OUT NOTHING BUT DIS-EASE…. IF HE’S NOT WELL I CANT REALLY SEE ANYONE PUT HIMSELF THRU YOU GUYS FOR WHAT… WAKE UP ARE KINGDOMS UNDERSEIGE…. LETS BE KIND TO 1 ANOTHER THE GOVERNMENT DOES ENUF EVIL FOR THE WHOLE WORLD …. IT’S TIME 4 A REAL LEADER WHO GUIDES IN LOVE NOT HATE ..YUK I JUST CANT STAND THIS. MAKES ME ILL… GOODNIGHT BLESS YOU ALL….

I think credit’s due to both Kanye and Leto for the “black Kate Moss” lyric inadvertantly lending itself to becoming a faux-goth/emo lyric. You just KNOW that that’s the singular reason that led Leto to cover this song. Perhaps some King Diamond-style make-up would’ve made it easier to swallow?

This is the worst Live Lounge I have ever heard. It was REALLY terrible…but the sad thing is that it seemed to go down really well. Maybe I’m too old for Radio 1 now but I just don’t get why people like these losers. They are dull, uninspired and should be filed in the bin alongside Dogstarr.

I think it comes across as a brilliant cover. What’s the point in making a cover if you make it sound exactly like the original? That said, I do prefer the 30 Seconds To Mars cover over the original. Kanye West was never really my cup of tea, to be honest I don’t care for the original at all, but, BUT, I would never sink to the level of trashing Kanye anyway. The one who wrote this must really have a problem with Jared Leto, why? Jealosy? Or simply being reluctant to accept that things can be done in more than one way?

Stronger in the 30STM version has been playing non-stop on my ipod, my car stereo and my laptop since I first heard it. Jareds Letos voice and the whole arrangement of the cover makes it an amazing experience for me, at least.

The original isnt realy the kind of music I am into, but I do think it is a very good song, I can understand why it has become popular. However this version by 30 Seconds to Mars I think is fantastic, I understand most people who like and listen to the original most likely wont like it as it is a completly different genre of music, but I think they did a very good job, realy made it there own, instead of just copying the original.

Jared did to this song that no other could do. He brought passion to it. Jareds voice is nothing short of amazing and theres no denying that when it comes to passion he holds a candle to everyone else. I don’t like the original version it’s not my type of music but I have not said anything bad about it. So what! You didn’t like Jareds version, we LOVE it and WE are the ones that matter to the band not the NON-BELIEVERS. So leave him alone and accept the brilliance that 30 Seconds to Mars version of Stronger is.

i really like this version..jared and the boys did a fine job! you guys are being really mean..it was an amazing cover..that wasnt even kanyes song anyway! it was originaly by Daft Punk…he just added extra to it.. well anyway..i think it was remade well..
